What are art schools looking for from high school students to have completed in a portfolio.?

I am a high school sophomore looking for help and suggestions as to how i should continue my art education. Good at oil and acrylic painting as well as pencil and graphite.

Went to the art institute, they have schools all over. Plenty of talented people there (though some are a just a joke)… they interview you but you dont need a portfolio but it is a plus if you do have one.

    art schools like to see progression throughout your portfolio, along with grasping knowledge of technique and versatility.

    When I went through the whole art program with high school, we were instructed to create portfolios that had ONE theme but in several medias. It was supposed to be a theme that really interested you…like a hobby. I really like mermaids, another gal loved Disney stuff, there were sports, animals, money…..something that we had a passion for. This was required of us for the International Baccalaureate.
